Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your massage mat:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the mat from the power source before cleaning. Wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the mat in water.
- Storage: When not in use, store the mat in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. You can fold or roll the mat for compact storage.
- Avoid Sharp Objects: Keep sharp objects away from the mat's fabric to prevent punctures or tears.
- Cord Care: Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the unit or allow it to become twisted, as this can damage the cord.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your massage mat, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Mat does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; damaged cord/adapter. | Ensure power adapter is securely plugged into both the mat and a working electrical outlet. Try a different outlet. Inspect cord for damage. |
| Vibrations are weak or inconsistent. | Low intensity setting; mat not flat; internal malfunction. | Increase intensity using the remote. Ensure the mat is on a flat, even surface. If problem persists, contact support. |
| Heat function is not working. | Heat function not activated; internal heating element issue. | Press the HEAT button on the remote. Allow a few minutes for the heat to build. If no heat, contact support. |
| Shiatsu pillow not working. | Not properly connected; separate power issue for pillow. | Ensure the pillow is securely zipped to the mat (if applicable) or its own power source is connected if used independently. |
